Did you change it in the Device Toolbar?
Are you using "Audacity 1.3.14 (Unicode)" (check the version in "Help > About Audacity")

peak is -19.6 dB. In theory, running the limiter with "Limit to" set to -15 dB should cause the audio to barely be touched, if at all. However, if I run it (with Make-up Gain turned off), everything gets pushed down to -29.1 dB. Am I not using it as intended? You're using it beyond its de...

Never mind, I've moved the topic to the Audacity 1.3.x part of the forum.

Regarding the problem, see the rest of Gale's post.

It will make life much more simple if you set Windows to show all file extensions. See here for how to do that: http://www.fileinfo.com/help/windows_show_extensions Read the link that Koz posted and it will explain that you can "Save" an "Audacity Project", but that Audacity Proj...
